I have just installed Pari 2.0.16 on my Caldera Linux system. The
installation went very smoothly which was lucky because I am not an
experienced Linux user.
Unfortunately, it installed gp without readline enabled. I use gp daily
under Unix and under Dos so I have come to depend heavily on the
functionality of readline.
I just tried to reinstall with a link to my readline placed in my Pari
directory but it made no difference.
I have The Pari package in
/home/jack/source/pari/pari-2.0.16.beta
and readline as
/usr/lib/libreadline.so.3.0
I placed a link to libreadline.so.3.0 in
/home/jack/source/pari/pari-2.0.16.beta and called it simply 'readline'.
gp was installed in /usr/local/bin
Am I putting the link to readline in the right place?
Should I be compiling it? If so, how?
I would really appreciate some guidance on this.
Best Regards,
Jack Fearnley
